How to Combine Different Types of Piercings: Style Tips from Our Experts

Piercings have become not only an expression of personality but also a fashion accessory that can elevate any style. If you’re thinking about combining multiple piercings or already have several and are looking for inspiration, here are some tips from our experienced piercers on how to harmonize different types of piercings and create a cohesive look.

1. Consider Placement and Balance

Combining piercings should be aesthetically balanced. Here are some proven tips:

• Symmetry is not necessary: Modern trends support asymmetry. For example, you can complement one bold piercing on your ear with delicate jewelry on the other.
• Create a “path”: Form a line of multiple piercings, such as from the earlobe through the helix to the daith. This gives a cohesive design.
• Use both sides of the body: If you have a septum piercing, you can complement it with eyebrow or lip piercings, creating a visual connection between different areas of your body.

2. Play with Materials and Colors

Choosing the right jewelry is key to a perfect combination.

• Uniform material: Combining piercings in silver, gold, or titanium creates an elegant and harmonious look.
• Mix colors: If you’re feeling bold, try mixing gold and silver jewelry or adding colored gemstones.
• Minimalism or extravagance: Subtle hoops and clear gemstones look elegant, while bold jewelry adds flair and individuality.

3. Style Based on Piercing Type

Each piercing type has its own character, which you can enhance with the right choice of jewelry:

• Ear piercings: Combine different types, such as tragus, helix, and conch. For a harmonious look, choose similar styles of jewelry (e.g., all hoops or all with gemstones).
• Facial piercings: Match your septum with nostril piercings using similar hoops or studs. If you have an eyebrow piercing, opt for more delicate jewelry to avoid a heavy look.
• Body piercings: A belly button piercing can be combined with a minimalist nipple piercing or subtle earrings.

4. Adapt Your Style to the Occasion

You can change your piercings depending on your mood or the event:

• For work or formal events: Choose discreet jewelry, such as small studs, delicate hoops, or clear retainers.
• For evening or festivals: Don’t be afraid to wear bolder jewelry with stones, ornaments, or colorful details.

5. Pay Attention to Jewelry Quality and Aftercare

It’s not just about how the piercing looks, but also how it feels and how it affects your health.

• Invest in quality materials: Titanium, surgical steel, or gold are the best choices.
• Clean your jewelry and piercings regularly: Combining multiple piercings can increase the risk of irritation, so be sure to pay extra attention to hygiene.
• Consult with an expert: If you’re unsure how to coordinate jewelry or where to place a new piercing, our experts are happy to advise you.
